dismissed EB-1A Case: Management Consulting (Pharmaceutical/Biotech)
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed primarily on procedural grounds, as the petitioner's main argument was that a Request for Evidence (RFE) should have been issued, which the AAO rejected. Substantively, the director and AAO noted a mismatch, as most of the evidence pertained to the beneficiary's accomplishments as a research scientist, not in his current field of management consulting for which the petition was filed.
